Getting to know your baby encourages a good relationship between you and your baby. If mother and child are doing well, the baby can immediately be placed on your naked upper body. Through the skin you will both be able to feel each other well.
In doing so, the baby can smell you and hear your heartbeat. The baby knows your heartbeat from the time spent in the womb. This known sound can calm the baby.
Would you like further information, or do you have any questions about the early days with your baby that you’d like to discuss in person? Frühe Hilfen Wien offers free and confidential advice.
